Nice to see he isn't immune to the double chin

Love you all so much and hope you're okay. Afternoon marginally more manageable than the morning for me only one toilet panic attack and am on my way home now.

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to get that yellow coat a few threads ago. Has come in handy with the rain today and also, bumped into work crush on my way out and he said, "I like the coat, it's very you". So good work, gang.

do you feel better for going or no different?
I’m sorry you’re having such a bad time!! Do you think reducing work load Would make things better? Did she say anything about telling your employer about how you’re feeling?
Any plans for this evening? Make sure you how some tea lovely. Sending you hugs

Spoiler

Feels like a bit of a weight lifted. Sounds silly but just having a witness, someone who knows how bad things are and acknowledges that they're bad and is willing to sit with me in that shitty place.

Reducing workload, I dunno. Like of course I would like to not have 10 strings of demands constantly going through my head. But at the same time stuff needs doing and the only way to get someone else to do it is to train and support them in doing it and short term that's more work for me, not less.

We talked a little about talking to my employer about the practicalities and asking for changes, but not about saying how I'm feeling. I think she knows me well enough to know I'm unlikely to do that.

I'm going to eat something soon I promise. Not sure what else to do tonight. Probably just bed.

I'm glad she's going to check in.

Also happy she's encouraging you to set boundaries. Please know that not wanting to admit to weakness is something a lot of us are guilty of.

I think regarding work, they are piling things on you simply because they know you won't say no and to set boundries regarding taking on extra work isn't showing weakness, it's the opposite, it's you taking control and saying 'I won't let you abuse me'.

Love you, that pic always makes me lol.

Spoiler

I know you're right. It's just that the whole setting boundaries thing speaks to something old and deep and painful in me about having no value except in the extent to which I can make everything go smoothly for everybody. So the thought of doing anything that means someone else will have to do more work has what my therapist calls my "inner critic" snarling and yelling and chucking stuff about in my head.

I'm so happy to hear it was productive, and that you had a bit of a breakthrough talking about some things. That's so important.

I agree with her that you need to eat, stay hydrated, sleep and do regular tasks, even if they feel insurmountable.

Lots of hugs to you, love. xxx

Spoiler

Thank you darling, I'm going to make tea and pour a drink now I promise.

Love the lot of you

Please take a moment to enjoy my favourite set of bae pictures with me.

Going to draw my curtains and put my dressing gown on for this call to show how much I object to the timing of it

 

[Violetroselily]

I've told my worst Teams horror story on the JG thread before so I won't repeat. This is my second worst

A few years ago one of my piercings was infected and had a massive pustule on it, I messaged my friend saying "do you want to see my poorly ear?"....he was sharing his screen, this was how the message popped up for everyone to see

Spoiler: you don't need to see my headshot

 

[Starttheline]

Has it come out the oven yet?

Spoiler: Yorkshire pud!

A bit eggy, but otherwise good!

He is still fit

Spoiler: More Self pity

this week I’ve been in a real funk. Managed to pull myself out today and going back to work tomorrow but I’m absolutely gutted now cos I’ve finally got my period ( it’s quite late ) - did a test yesterday& a tiny part of me really wanted to be pregnant again . We haven’t even been trying / have both said we don’t want another really but a small part of me did. Also gutted now I’ve gotta walk round @ work for 7 hours whilst on why couldn’t it have come over the weekend when I’ve been off

 

[Violetroselily]

Sad wank

I know what I'll be reading tonight @cobette

 

[Gossgossgoss9888]

Evening darlings. Hope everyone is OK and those at the match are blessed with bae views aplenty.

Spoiler: Me me me

Terrible night's sleep. Woke up at 4. Couldn't decide whether to get up and log on and work or go back to sleep. Ended up lying around panicking and crying and doing neither for ages before managing to get a fitful hour or two of sleep a little later.

Woke up, felt shit. Forced myself to eat breakfast.

Went to work. Same as ever. So much urgent stuff overruling what I'm actually supposed to be working on. Potentially they needed someone to stay late tonight. I said I couldn't. In my head I thought for my mental health. I don't need the overtime money and I certainly don't need the stress and I do need the time alone and the rest.

Busy all day. Skipped lunch. Pulled in every direction.

Everyone started going home and their reasons were all so much more concrete than mine - newbie so can't do the work alone anyway, heavily pregnant, anniversary, "got plans". Ended up staying an hour and a half. Good intentions and all that. Still felt shit for leaving when I did.

Home now. Bought a bunch of ready meals at the weekend on @LurkingAnnie's advice. Going to put one in in a min and try to eat and drink something and watch the match and hope bae's face gets plenty of airtime.

Made it through another day. Yay.
